5. PIN DESCRIPTION
PIN NAME PIN NO. I/O FUNCTION
VSSD, VSSA 1, 16 Ground Supplies: Similar to VCCA and VCCD, the
analog and digital circuits internal to the I1800
device use separate ground buses to minimize
noise. These pins should be tied together as
close as possible to the device.
REC 1 2 I Record: The REC input is an active-HIGH record
signal. The device records whenever REC is
HIGH. This pin must remain HIGH for the duration
of the recording. REC takes precedence over
either playback (PLAYL or PLAYE) signal. If REC
is pulled HIGH during a playback cycle, the
playback immediately ceases and recording
begins. A record cycle is completed when REC is
pulled LOW. An End-of-Message (EOM) marker
is internally recorded, enabling a subsequent
playback cycle to terminate appropriately. The
device automatically powers down to standby
mode when REC goes LOW. This pin has an
internal pull-down device. Holding this pin HIGH
will increase standby current consumption.
PLAYE 3 I Playback, Edge-activated: When a HIGH-going
transition is detected on this input pin, a playback
cycle begins. Playback continues until an End-of-
Message (EOM) marker is encountered or the
end of the memory space is reached. Upon
completion of the playback cycle, the device
automatically powers down into standby mode.
Taking PLAYE LOW during a playback cycle will
not terminate the current cycle. This pin has an
internal pull-down device. Holding this pin HIGH
will increase standby current consumption.
PLAYL 4 I Playback, Level-activated: When this input pin
level transits from LOW to HIGH, a playback cycle
is initiated. Playback continues until PLAYL is
pulled LOW or an End-of-Message (EOM) marker
is detected, or the end of the memory space is
reached. The device automatically powers down
to standby mode upon completion of the playback
cycle. This pin has an internal pull-down device.
Holding this pin HIGH will increase standby
current consumption.

PIN NAME PIN NO. I/O FUNCTION

MIC 10 I Microphone Input: The microphone input
transfers its signals to the on-chip preamplifier. An
on-chip Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit
controls the gain of the preamplifier. An external
microphone should be AC coupled to this pin via
a series capacitor. The capacitor value, together
with an internal 10 K resistance on this pin,
determines the low-frequency cutoff for the I1800
passband.
MIC REF 12 I Microphone Reference: The MIC REF input is
the inverting input to the microphone preamplifier.
This provides input noise-cancellation, or
common-mode rejection, when the microphone is
connected differentially to the device.
AGC 13 I Automatic Gain Control: The AGC dynamically
adjusts the gain of the preamplifier to compensate
for the wide range of microphone input levels. The
AGC allows the full range of sound, from whispers
to loud sounds, to be recorded with minimal
distortion. Nominal values of 4.7 F give
satisfactory results in most cases.
Connecting this pin to ground (VSSA) provides
maximum gain to the preamplifier circuitry.
Conversely, connecting this pin to the power
supply (VCCA) provides minimum gain to the
preamplifier circuitry.
SP-/SP+ 15, 17 O Speaker Outputs: The SP+ and SP- pins provide
direct drive for loudspeakers with impedances as
low as 8. A single output may be used, but, for
direct-drive loud-speakers, the two opposite-
polarity outputs provide an improvement in output
power of up to four times over a single-ended
connection. Furthermore, when SP+ and SP- are
used, a speaker coupling capacitor is not
required. A single-ended connection will require
an AC-coupling capacitor between the SP pin and
the speaker.
The SP+ pin and the SP- pin are internally
connected through a 50 K resistance. When not
in playback mode, they are floating.

PIN NAME PIN NO. I/O FUNCTION

VCCA, VCCD 18, 27 Voltage Supplies: Analog and digital circuits
internal to the I1800 device use separate power
buses to minimize noise on the chip. These power
buses are brought out to separate pins on the
package and should be tied together as close to
the power supply as possible. It is important that
the power supply be decoupled as close as
possible to the package.
ROSC 19 I The Resistor Controlled Oscillator input: This
enables the user to vary the I1800 device record
and playback duration. The resistor connected
between the ROSC pin and VSS (R2) determines
the sample frequency and the filter upper pass
band for the I1800 device. Please refer to the
table in Duration Section for duration selection.
FT 25 I Feed Through: This mode allows use of the
speaker drivers for external signals. The signal
between the MIC and MIC_REF pins will pass
through the AGC, the filter and the speaker
drivers to the speaker outputs SP+ and SP-. The
input FT controls the feed through mode. To
operate this mode, the control pins REC, PLAYE
and PLAYL are held LOW at VSS. The pin FT is
held HIGH to VCC. For normal operation of record,
play and power down, the FT pin is held at VSS.
The FT pin has a weak pull-down to VSS.
XCLK 26 The External Clock input: For the I1800 devices
has an internal pull-down resistor. This pin is
used for test purposes only. Do not bond this pad.

RECLED 28 O Record LED output: The RECLED output is

LOW during a record cycle. It can be used to
drive an LED to provide feedback that a record
cycle is in progress. In addition, RECLED pulses
LOW momentarily when and End-of-Message
(EOM) or end-of-memory marker is encountered
in a playback cycle.

Note: 1 The REC signal is internally debounced on the rising edge to prevent a false re-triggering from a push-
button switch.

6. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

6.1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Speech/Sound Quality
Nuvotons patented ChipCorder technology provides natural record and playback. The input voice
signals are stored directly in nonvolatile cells and are reproduced without the synthetic effect often
heard with digital solid-state speech solutions. A complete sample is stored in a single cell, minimizing
the memory necessary to store a single message.

Duration
The ISD1800 devices offer single-chip solutions with 6 to 16 seconds of record/playback duration
capacity. Sampling rate and duration are determined by an external resistor connected to the ROSC
pin. These specifications apply with the required resistor value for playback duration.
Sample Rate
8 KHz 6.4 KHz 5.3 KHz 4 HKz
Duration
I1806 6 secs 7.5 secs 9 secs 12 secs
I1810 8 secs 10 secs 12 secs 16 secs
ROSC 80 K 100 K 120 K 160 K

Non-Volatile Storage
The ISD1800 product utilizes the on-chip Flash memory providing zero-power message storage. The
message is retained for up to 100 years without power. In addition, the device can be re-recorded
typically over 100,000 times.

Basic Operation
The ISD1800 ChipCorder device is controlled by the REC pin, and either of two playback pins,
PLAYE (edge-activated playback), and PLAYL (level-activated playback). The ISD1800 parts are
configured for design simplicity in a single-message application. Device operation is explained in
section 7.2, Functional Description Example.

Automatic Power-Down Mode

At the end of a playback or record cycle, the ISD1800 device automatically returns to a low-power
standby mode, consuming typically 0.5A, provided that Play REC, XCLK, and FT pins are LOW (see
DC parameters, section 10). During a playback cycle, the device powers down automatically at the
end of the message. During a record cycle, the device powers down immediately after REC is
released LOW.

 ISD1800 SERIES

6.2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE

The following example operating sequence demonstrates the functionality of the ISD1800 devices.

1. Record a message filling the memory

Pulling the REC pin HIGH initiates a record cycle form the beginning of the message space. The
device will automatically power down after REC is release LOW. An EOM marker is written at the end
of message. If REC is held HIGH, the recording continues until the message space has been filled.
Once the message space is filled, recording ceases.

2. Edge-activated playback
Pulling the PLAYE pin HIGH initiates a playback cycle from the beginning of the message space.
When the device reaches the EOM marker, it automatically powers down. If a recording has filled the
message space, the entire message is played. A subsequent rising edge on PLAYE initiates a new
play cycle from the beginning of the memory.

3. Level-activated playback
Pulling the PLAYL pin HIGH initiates a playback cycle from the beginning of the message space.
When the device reaches the EOM marker, it automatically powers down. If a recording has filled the
message space, the entire message is played. A subsequent rising edge on PLAYL initiates a new
play cycle from the beginning of the memory.

4. Level-activated playback (truncated)

If PLAYL is pulled LOW any time during the playback cycle, the device stops playing and enters the
power-down mode. A subsequent rising edge on PLAYL initiates a new play cycle from the beginning
of the memory.

5. Record (interrupting playback)

The REC pin takes precedence over other operations. Any HIGH-going transition on REC initiates a
new record operation from the beginning of the memory, regardless of any current operation in
progress.

6. Record a message, partially filling the memory

A record operation need not fill the entire memory. Releasing the REC pin LOW before filling the
message space causes the recording to stop and an EOM marker to be placed. The device powers
down automatically.

7. Playback a message that partially fills the memory

Pulling the PLAYE or PLAYL pin HIGH initiates a playback cycle. The playback cycle ceases when the
EOM marker is encountered and the device then powers down.

 ISD1800 SERIES

8. RECLED operation

The RECLED output pin provides an active-LOW signal, which can be used to drive an LED as a
record-in-progress indicator. It returns to a HIGH state when the REC pin is released LOW or when
the recording is completed due to the memory being filled. This pin also pulses LOW to indicate the
end of a message has been reached.

9. ROSC operation
The duration of the device can be varied by changing the value of R2 (ROSC). This means the ISD1800
device can actually be between 6 to 16 seconds duration. See the curve below, which charts typical
durations when the ROSC is varied from 80 K to 160 K.
This feature allows frequency shifting where a recorded voice or sound can be played back faster or
slower than normal for special effects. For example, use a 100 K resistor to make the recording and
then playback with either an 80 K resistor for faster chipmunk talk or with a 120 K resistor for a
slower, lower voice.
Another feature is a Pause or interrupt function that can be done by taking the ROSC resistor to VCC to
stop playback momentarily, resuming when the resistor is connected back to ground.
